Answer:
Each pencil cost $2.
The club made 8 pies.
Step-by-step explanation:
First problem
She had $24 to spend on pencils. After buying the pencils she had $10.
We subtract to find out the cost of the pencils.
$24 - $10 = $14
The 7 pencils cost $14.
Now we divide to find the cost of one pencil.
$14/7 = $2
Each pencil cost $2.
Second problem
There were 60 pieces. Each pie was cut in 5 pieces.
We divide to find the total number of pies.
60/5 = 12
There were 12 pies altogether.
The cafeteria contributed 4 pies.
Now we subtract to find the number of pies made by the club.
12 - 4 = 8
The club made 8 pies.
